Booking Automation vs Hospitable

Booking Automation is cloud-based property management software for vacation rental owners, property managers, hostels, and hotels. Its channel manager exchanges inventory and prices and imports bookings through two-way XML/API connections, with iCal sync also supported. Users can take direct bookings on a secure, customizable, mobile-friendly page without commission, accept card or PayPal payments, and collect card details for in-house charges. Yield management can adjust prices according to availability and time before check-in across booking channels. Multiple properties can be managed with agency functions, logins, and subaccounts; reports can be standard or customized and track booking origin. Named integrations include PayPal, Stripe, PriceLabs, Mailchimp, and Integromat, alongside 50+ leading OTAs. The company describes the system as self-service and directs account holders to support tickets. Monthly pricing for the first 1 to 10 rentals is $11.95 a month; later rental bands have different listed rates. Setup fees start at $99, paid once.
